Sir Ebenezer Howard is universally recognized as the father of the new towns (or garden cities) movement. This biography, originally published in 1933, is being reissued now to serve the revival of interest in new towns as a viable alternative to the urban chaos and suburban sprawl that deface the planet with physical ugliness and social inequity.The book presents the personal aspects of Howard's life and a detailed account of the planning and building of the new towns of Letchworth and Welwyn. Howard's personal life and his work were cross-coupled to an unusual degree, but in order to see both the man and the movement more clearly, the author presents each in turn in a series of paralleling but separate chapters. The leading contemporary authority on the new towns movement, Sir Frederic Osborn, has noted that the book is “somewhat informally arranged, but contains all essential facts about Howard, and many interesting personal impressions.”

Ebenezer Howard is recognised as a pioneer of town planning throughout the industrialised world; Britain's new towns, deriving from the garden cities he founded, are his monument. But Howard was more than a town planner. He was first and foremost a social reformer, and his garden city was intended to be merely the first step towards a new social and industrial order based on common ownership of land. This is the first comprehensive study of Howard's theories, which the author traces back to their origins in English puritan dissent and forward to Howard's attempt to build his new society in microcosm at Letchworth and Welwyn.

Ebenezer Howard veröffentlicht 1902 sein Werk Garden Cities of Tomorrow, seine Ideen haben maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, der Bewegung für einen modernen Städtebau Richtung und Ziel zu geben. Sechs Jahrzehnte nach Erscheinen der ersten Ausgabe ergänzte Julius Posener diesen Klassiker der Stadtplanungstheorie um die erstmals 1945 erschienen Essays von Lewis Mumford und Frederic J. Osborn zu einem Streitgespräch der späten sechziger Jahre über die Gestalt der Stadt. Die vorliegende Neuauflage spannt den Bogen ins 21. Jahrhundert und erweitert die Ausgabe von 1968 um ein Vorwort von Carl Fingerhuth.
